I’ve seen some differences in the repo brass hubcaps. Between Snyder’s and Vintique Notably more threads on the inside, thicker wall of the hubcap, and more defined on the shape where the wrench would snug on to. Is one vendor better than another in their reproduction? I heard at one time Bobs antiq...

Looking for an original commutator case support bolt.
The head takes a 5/8 wrench. This is the bolt that holds the commutator case spring and timer to the front timing cover.

Jerry,
I thought the timers for 12-14(?) were aluminum.

Tbird

Here is a picture I found on the Model T Ford Fix It Site. It says this (timer pictured) was a reproduction timer made by Howard Cassica. Is this type of oiler "correct" or what I need to be looking for?

Tbird

Adam,
How does the lid fit on to this? I don't see any threaded pieces on the inside nor is there any where it looks like something attached to the outside of the plug part. Is the Man Hole oiler plug different from this one that's on mine?
Mike

Tbird

Here is the inside of the timer. From my understanding the pipe threaded insert is original to the timer but it's missing the oiler top? or Oiler insert. The inside of the pipe thread fitting is smooth so does this take a press in oiler? Ive been trying to find pictures of an original aluminum timer...

Tbird

I have an original aluminum timer, but missing the oiler. What kind of oiler does this take?
If you have an extra one laying around I'd be interested in getting it.
Thanks Mike

I would like to get a set when you make some more

The question that’s on my mind is original Horn tubing is pretty stiff, from what I’ve read the repo stuff here in the states is pretty limp. Can anyone confirm original vs repo from the vendors here in the states? Speaking with the lady from AU I was told that it’s made like the original.

Great ideas guys!

Mark, When I spoke with the owner Christine, she told me that the tubing is when held out it doesn't collapse under its own weight.

Looking at the details of the body that does not have any doors, no doubt they just repurposed the body on an updated chassis. Looks like they gave it a fresh coat of signage.

I think the hub is different for 27. I’m not to sure as if a earlier fan can be used and if other things would have to be changed out in order to make it work. Perhaps someone else can chime in on this.
